UPDATE | ZhuQue-3 Y2 Reusable Launch Vehicle Completed Static Fire Test

On June 29, 2026, LandSpace’s ZhuQue-3 Y2 reusable launch vehicle successfully completed a static fire test at the Dongfeng Commercial Space Innovation Pilot Zone.

The test comprehensively verified the vehicle system, the ground support system, and the compatibility between them. All systems operated normally, and test data and results met expectations, validating the correctness and coordination of system operations and laying a solid foundation for upcoming flight missions.

All key pre-launch ground verification work for the ZhuQue-3 Y2 reusable launch vehicle has now been completed. The team will proceed with launch preparations according to the established plan, making full preparations for the flight mission.

China is starting to automative tolls booths.

This frees human labor up to complete tasks of higher value.

@kaskaide1 @Titus_F_V @alpha_defense so far they didn't even mass produce a single small gas turbine engine but showcased tons of models.

i m sure they will do well in future but look at Turks people attitude on social media. lol

Geoffroy Boulard, mayor of Paris' 17th arrondissement, posted a video on X, showing that he has ordered China-made air conditioners to public schools as France faces an intense heatwave that has pushed classroom temperatures to as high as 44 C. The mayor said that there would be 50 air conditioners to be deployed in schools. The video showed that the air conditioners were productions of Chinese company Haier. Leading Chinese air conditioner manufacturers are working around the clock to keep up with soaring demand for portable split air conditioners, which have seen booming sales as record-breaking heatwaves sweep across Europe, according to one firm and relevant media reports on Saturday.

I'm an American and I just spent the last two weeks in China.

I am sorry to tell you that the United States is now far behind China in all aspects.

Even though individuals in China have 1/3 the spending power of those in the USA and 1/6th of the per capita GDP, they are far better off because of China's superior socialist system.

For example, I was able to order takeout and it arrived at my door in under 10 minutes. I don't know much about the work conditions of the person who delivered it, nor do I understand the food supply chain enough to comment on its quality and safety. But it tasted good and I got it real fast.

Everywhere I went, people were eager to show me, a White American, how awesome and developed China is. I was invited to dinners at expensive restaurants at the tops of the very tallest buildings. I was a little flattered by the VIP treatment I got there, but that's just what life in China feels like to the average person, I guess.

I was particularly impressed by the technology. There were robots cleaning floors and serving drinks. Doors opened automatically. There were LED lights everywhere. Payments were made by mobile phone. And everybody had a mobile phone. Mobile phones are so advanced there that many people don't even own a personal computer.

I didn't suffer any illness requiring me to visit the local hospital, so I can't say much about that, but I will tell you that the shopping centers are incredibly fancy. In this one mall I went to, there's a guy standing outside of the bathroom to hand you a towel. The toilet sprays aerosol deodorant every time it detects a deposit of 25 grams or more in the bowl. Smoking is banned in all indoor spaces, although for some reason I could smell a hint of cigarette smoke in nearly every indoor space.

Most of this is because China's leaders are very wise and see extra far into the future. That's probably because they are highly educated, with doctorates in the sciences. This is in contrast to American lawmakers, who are most often experts in law. Unlike our country, with its short-sighted electoral cycle, China operates on a 10-year political plan. That means the leaders of China are thinking 10 years into the future. I wish I could ask them where I will be in 10 years, I bet they'd know.

I wish I could tell you more about what it's like to work in a Chinese company, or to marry into a Chinese family, but I haven't had those experiences yet. I also really wish I could read Chinese so I could tell you what the Internet is like in China. To be honest, I don't know, I just used VPN so I could access all of the websites I normally use.

Anyways, Chinese people seemed really nice and China is pretty advanced and modern. America is cooked!

[Sheikh Zohaib 汤辰良 @Sheikh__Zohaib]

@felix375 Tech is not the issue. the problem is, weapon sales always attach with political relations with that specific country. but China strike some big deals for J-10C thanks to PAF performance.

China now offering Y-20B/J-35 to export customers.

[Sheikh Zohaib 汤辰良 @Sheikh__Zohaib]

@felix375 yeah this war will have profound effects. in fact Saudi Arabia and the UAE have been among the largest buyers of Chinese drones in the Middle East.

Saudi even signed big deal for in-country manufacturing of drones.

@felix375 @PLA_MilitaryUpd WS-20 is already under serial production.

CJ-1000A is in critical stage of certification. currently suppliers undergoing the strict quality inspection of each component that used in this engine.

CJ-2000 passed all ground tests successfully.

[Sheikh Zohaib 汤辰良 @Sheikh__Zohaib]

@bocchithereturn @PLA_MilitaryUpd that's his estimate. if required then XAC could increase Y-20B production. so no issue
